THE MENTAL EFFECT OF PECUNI- ARY PRESSURE. {Spectator.) Pain may be incurable, for it may arise from causes- as for instance, in our ter- rible eise we know, the protrusion of a small spicula of bone into the brain which science can detect but cannot reach and which are beyond all human power. But pecuniary distress can never seem absolutely beyond hope. A mere acident might relieve it, as has oiten happened after the sufferer, unknowing of the for- tune on its way, has taken the fatal plunge ; or a slight increase of earning power, or the opening of a new groove in life, or, and this is strangest of all, the development, constantly seen in women who have lost money, of a new power of doing without wants. Mrs. Gaskell paints that well in " Cranford," and we have seen a heavier fall than even Miss Matty Jenkyns's, a fall from ¿8300 a year to ¿£30, met by a sudden slaughter of all needs that bade defiance to pecuniary misfortune. And yet there can scarcely be a doubt that pecuniary tr...

RETROGRESSION OF TEMPERANCE. The following letter on this subject appear- ed in a late issue of the Temperance News : SIR.-In my last I promised to give you what I thought would stop the present retrograde movement of our Order. In putting forth my opinion I do not claim to be infallible, hence acknowledge my plan may be capable &amp;nbsp; of improvement. I will, however, sketch out a plan which, I think would tend to the ad- vancement of Rechabitism. Let our present district be divided into a number of smaller ones, no sub-district, however, to have less than 500 members. Each of these sub-districts to have a common sick fund, into which the receipts of the Tents, less the amount paid to sick members and a balance of a fixed amount per member, be paid quarter- ly. These sub-districts to be governed by representative from each Tent, who shall have the management of the sick fund, the power to open new Tents in their sub-districts, and form a court of appeal from the quarterly Te...

COLONIAL GOVERNORS. (The Standard.) There are very few officers under the British Crown which demand qualifications so manifold and so various as those ot Governors of colonies -officers which are invested with responsibili- ties, on the due discharge of which depends much of the safety, the dignity, and the great- ness of the Empire. The Governors of those British colonies which are endowed wich representative institutions have, above all, duties of a nature extremely delicate and onerous, of a kind to which there is no parallel elsewhere, and quite novel to the Constitution. The Governor of such a colony is something other than a Pro-Consul or a Prsetor of a Roman Province. He has to represent at a distance Irora the centre, very oiten with few external aids in support of his dignity or au- thority, the whole function of sovereign ty. He has to exercise the prerogatives of the Con- stitutional chief of a State while rendering obedience to the orders of an Imperial depart- ment. He...

C o r x t s $ o n î> £ n c i\ To THE EDITOR OF THE W. A. TIMES. Sir,-Now that the vestry are taking measu- res to render somewhat more comely the Cathe- dral Church of the Anglican Communion in this colony, I shall be glad if you will allow me to suggest through your columns, that some plan be adopted to exclude dogs from the sacred building. A notice in the club soon succeeded in their exclusion from that building. Pro- bably one signed by the Dean and Church- wardens would do the same for the cathedral. If those officials however, are too " dogged," let the vestry take the matter up-but surely the good sense, if not the right feeling, of they " ''espectable'' dogs-for I observe that there are highly connected-should lead them stop at home and watch while their, so called, betters go to church and pray. lam, Tours truly, .

Oc $kstent üEUistvniinn Cimes. &amp;OLÜH ÎÎON MUTAT GENUS. TUESDAY. JULY 20, 1875. UINITIÍ, the discovery ol'Australia a black swan was a " rare avis in terris," nay, if we understand the poet rightly, some- thing more, it was to him a term of nega- tion, indicating not what is, but what is not, a letter x ia ornithology, an unknown quantity, that is an unknown bird. A correspondent however, suggests to us that, not unfrequently Australian, like other swans, turn cut, according to the old proverb, to be unly geese ; we cannot altogether agree with him, but there is a substratum of truth under his sarcasm. The numerous projects put forward from time to time for harbours, railroads, and steam communication &amp;c, without suffi- cient consideration, and too often by those who know little or nothing about the subjects, may be well termed Australian geese. It would be of little importance if failure was the only result of these abor- tive attempts, but failure, in such cases, ha...

Goodall, Jobb- ing carpenter and general servant in the employ of Mr. A. D.

Earle, whom he violently assaulted, The accused's head and face however bore ample evidence that he had the worst of the conflict, as the constable had to use his staff on the occasion. He was sent to prison for three months. BREACH OV T,L.

vjannUrg SUtos, YORK. (From our own Correspondent.") The Election is now a thing oí the past. Mr. Parker has been defeated by considerable odds and that's all. There is one tiling to be said, Mr. Parker had considerable influence in the district at work for him, and there is no doubt they did their best ; but all they could do was in vain. The weather is delightful ; in some places we hear of good lambing in others not so good. The Oddfellows intend opening a Lodge in our Town in the course of a week or two-the necessaries having arrived by the " Chalgrove." I have not the least doubt that Odd fellowship will spread and flourish in the Eastern dis- tricts.

THE LATE YORK ELECTION. To THE EDIÏOB W. A. TIMES, SIR,-The qnesfion of your correspondent, "Observer," of York, which appeared, and was answered editorially, in j'our issue of the 13th inst., is a very important one indeed; and, if there was not anything further, or more inde- corous in Mr. Whiteley's conduct as an elector. than simply asking permission to put a ques tion to one of the candidates, the imp «rtauce ol your correspondent's question, as well as the irregularity, and reprehensible conduct of of the Returning Officer is, at once, apparent. The importance of the question is seenin the fact, that, on more grounds than one the action, irregular on the part of the Returning Officer, might vitiate the election ; and, more particu- larly on one point, would it have this effect; for, if there were no other more justifiable grounds and reasons for ordering Mr. Whitely, who was and is an elector of the York and Beverley districts, out of the Court House, be- yond his merely askin...

THE LATE DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT. In connection with an important decision lately given in the Supreme Court Perth, and of which we gave a summary in our last issue, a copy of the decision of the Magistrates and the opinion and order of the court has been sent to : »U the Magistrates of the colony. It appears > that at a Petty Sessions held at Geraldton, before Messrs. George Eliot, R. Fairbairn, C. D J V. Fosa, J. Ps. on the 18th day of May, 1875, .ne William Elliot was charged by a certain *^> information for that he was drunk in William Taylor's dwelling-house on the night of Sunday, the 9th May, instant. At the hearing of the said Information it was admitted by the said William Elliott that he was drunk in William Taylor's house on the night of the 9th May, instant. It was thereupon contended on the part of the Defendant, that although he, Wil- liam Elliott, admitted to having been drunk in the house of William Taylor on the night in question, he being drunk in a pri...
